Lyrics[]

I'm gonna be a rock and roll star
Gonna groove from night to day
Gonna blow my honey jar
Gonna blow my blues away

I'm gonna make a stand
Gonna make a million
Gonna make it with you
I'm gonna be right my friend
I'm gonna push it through

Whoa, yeah
It's Electric
It's Electric
Yeah It's Electric, yeah
It's Electric, Whoa yeah

I stop on red but I leave on amber
Danger paves my way
I'm gonna make it my friend
Gonna make it today

Gonna get this dust from my heels
Down the Highway I go
Gonna get the stars from my route
Make it in a rock and roll show

Whoa, yeah
Yeah It's Electric
It's Electric
Yo It's Electric, yeah
It's Electric

Whoa

I stop on red but I leave on amber
And you face my way
I'm gonna make it my friend
Gonna make it today 

Gonna get the dust from my heels
Down the Highway I go---whoa
Gonna get the stars from my route 
Make it in a rock and roll show

Whoa
It's Electric, yeah
It's Electric
Yeah It's Electric, yeah
It's Electric
Yeah It's Electric
It's Electric

Yo Whoa, Yeah
